[UUG/MLUG] Corel Linux

[Steve Holdener <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Hey, this is from www.slashdot.org today:

<------snip-------->
It's official: Corel will be making a Linux distribution. The
distro will have a "simpler" install process, and the distribution will
run on the IA-32 architechture initially, then the StrongARM. They have
not said whether they will use GNOME or KDE, or their own desktop. The
news comes from Mike Cowpland's speech at LWCE. 
<------------------>

My favorite excerpt:

<------------------>
"So far, [Linux] has been mainly for enthusiasts and servers, and the
desktop has not happened in a big way," Corel chief executive Michael
Cowpland said today, leading off the LinuxWorld Expo and Conference here.
"It's got to be like Windows." 
<------------------>

Please, Mr. Cowpland, not *too much* like Windows!
